At this point, Gu Hanhan finally understood that he was treated as a puppet controlled by energy lines by the indigenous people here, a so-called alchemical product in their world.
I have to say, this is so ridiculous. But when I think about Li Shen, a man with black hair and black eyes who should be dedicated to the Dragon Queen as the male favorite, this puppet seems not so funny.
She wondered, could they still get out of this low-productivity black iron age? If you really have to rely on Mr. Li Shen to be the male favorite of the Dragon Queen to get the energy stone, and then activate the mecha to kill everyone in all directions to compose a legend in the Middle Ages, wouldn't it be a little too absurd?
The translator was still turned on, taking in all the sounds of people speaking around him and embodying them directly in Gu Hanhan's mind. Its translation is now completely smooth. Compared with real speech, there is basically no delay. It can achieve simultaneous translation. Even the tone of voice and color are lifelike and completely consistent. Gu Hanhan heard the amplified whispers of the cavalry and seemed to think that the terms offered by the old wizard were very good. The discussions among the men in black robes at the table were also saying that the field harvests in the past two years were not good. The farmers and craftsmen did not have much savings in their hands. Even if they imposed taxes, they would not receive a few coins. On the contrary, Merchants in the city might be able to count on their taxes.
The knight leader seemed to be tempted by the price offered by the old wizard, but he was still hesitant to make a final decision.
"If it's just a few alchemy apprentices..." He took a sip of wine, probably intending to bargain for the final price and extort a sum of money.
The leader of the knights in golden armor was still waiting for the old wizard's next words. At this moment, Li Shen, who was placed by the fire, suddenly sat up and said a few words to him.
The translator did not translate these words, they were stuck there. Gu Hanhan was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned back to the original sound, only to realize that what Li Shen was talking about was a spell that the knight in golden armor had recited before. It was a short part of the long incantation he uttered as he stretched out the spear-like generator and tried to activate it. If Li Shen hadn't read it out at this time and Gu Hanhan recalled it carefully, she might not have been able to remember what it was.
But when the knights in golden armor heard the spell, their expressions changed. They all drew their weapons and made a defensive posture. After dozens of seconds passed and nothing happened, they relaxed a little. But the two knights in golden armor who were approaching took out the iron swords hanging from their waists and put them on Li Shen's neck.
Gu Hanhan's heart was in his throat. If Li Shen was beheaded because of this, it would be the end! I hope this group of cavalry from the Black Iron Age will never be so violent!
Li Shen himself didn't seem too nervous. His calm attitude made Gu Hanhan wonder if he had often had this kind of sword-and-neck experience in his past life, which required him to put on a show. All in all?, he seems to be really good at pretending.
Gu Hanhan saw that Master Li Shen regarded the sword as nothing, and calmly repeated the mantra again.
"The stress of your previous spell was wrong," he said after reciting it, "you can try this one."
He directly used the local dialect. The first few words seemed very unfamiliar, but after that he became very fluent and comfortable.
Gu Hanhan didn't know how Mr. Li Shen could speak directly the indigenous language of this planet. If he really learned it after he was captured, then this talent would be amazing. Compared to the cosmic master of linguistics, Leos, he is not making too many concessions.
The leader of the knights in golden armor was obviously very surprised. He stared at Li Shen for a few seconds, and then smiled: "Your thoughts don't seem to be able to mobilize the force. Black-eyed man."
Li Shen was unmoved. He said: "I have lost my ability and cannot use the laws of spells to mobilize...the force, but you can give it a try. You have this talent."
"So? You have lost the talent to communicate with the original god?"
The knight leader looked at Li Shen carefully: "You didn't lie..."
He looked very moved and raised his hand to signal to the knight in golden armor closest to him. The knight in golden armor then drew out the long sword hanging from his waist, but was speechless and unable to repeat the incantation that Li Shen just recited. He had forgotten where the accent of "?" he just said was.
Li Shen shook his head slightly and said truthfully: "His talent is not enough, at least not yet." But he still repeated the spell.
The knight in golden armor suppressed his blush, and finally stuttered out the incantation according to Li Shen's pronunciation. It was so difficult and jerky that it seemed that it was not a sentence he had learned and remembered thoroughly since the day he was ordained. Similar. Of course, such a spell cannot bring any surprising results, but when he stuttered out those words, there was an indescribable disturbance in the air, but as the spell was interrupted repeatedly, Like a chaotic tide that has lost its direction, it surges together randomly and then ripples and dissipates.
The knight leader was obviously aware of this indescribable disturbance, and his expression became solemn. He slowly drew out the sword hanging from his waist, glanced at Li Shen, and without asking him to repeat himself, he slowly said A spell was cast.
The light pattern of energy instantly lit up on the surface of the long sword. It flowed along the sword body, converged towards the tip of the sword from both sides, and then burst out suddenly. The huge sword light swung forward, directly shattering the table. The entire step was split into two, and a large pit collapsed. Then the afterimage of the sword light continued forward, and the stone ground was cracked, several inches deep. The cracks extended all the way to the outside of the door. If the knight leader hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped in time, the entire castle might have been cut open.
The knights in golden armor and the men in black robes dodged in a hurry, and then they were stunned and shocked. The expressions after the shock were wonderful. The leader of the knights involved was of course even more shocked. He, General Sono, who roamed the desert, had never personally wielded such a powerful sword in his 30 years of training. Not only him, he has never seen it from any other talented sword holder in the mainland. This kind of power is probably only possible by the great swordsmen in the royal capital who hold holy weapons.
Sono looked a little hastily and sheathed his sword, barely keeping himself calm, and said: "Since you said that you have lost the power to communicate with the original god, Black-Eyed One, then you are willing to be loyal to me. , will you become my warlock?"
The white-robed great magician Sol Soluman's arrogant laughter intervened at this moment, interrupting General Sono's invitation: "If it's just a spell, it may not be enough."
He had obviously just woken up from the shock, and then the seeds of greed and madness began to grow in his heart. The spell provided by the black-eyed man is of course enough for a swordsman or a talented sword wielder like Sono, but it is far from useful for a great magician who masters the relics of the original god. He needs more spells, and the secret of drawing the Force from those mysterious glowing stones. This mysterious dark-eyed man must be mastered by him.
"Maybe you can be kept in this castle instead of being sent to the royal capital?" he said, "but the queen's power covers the earth, and you are hers. Even General Sono can't protect you. He is The ordained sword holder swears allegiance to the queen. Under the sky, the only one who can protect you is the original god, but how can you win the favor of the original god? You have to think of a way."
Li Shen ignored the old wizard in white robes, as if he had seen through his greed, and saw at a glance that he was actually a useless paper tiger - that is, such simple and low-level remarks even made Gu Hanhan He would sneer at it, let alone try to deceive Li Shen, a true god who might have been placed on a shrine and worshiped since he was a child.
Li Shen looked at the sword-wielding general known as Sono, and said frankly: "No matter how many spells you use, the power you can mobilize is limited. As a kind of... magic rule, the word spirit can only open up... The force is a gap in the world. It has its upper limit and ceiling, just like the roof of your castle. If you want to draw more power, you must go further and break the shackles and push open the door to this world."
"You do have the talent to master more power," he said, hinting at Sono, "but I am not a professional trainer, and there is currently no way for you to break through the shackles of your birth -"
"Then it's not now?" Sonuo was keenly aware of the uncertainty in Li Shen's words, and asked a little eagerly.
"It's hard to say in the future, it depends on many aspects."
General Sono felt that his emotions were a little out of control, and he suspected that he had fallen into the trap of the black-eyed man. He forced himself to calm down with his pounding heart and showed a smile: "You are lying to me..."
"I don't need to lie to you." Li Shen said.
"I am living here and need some help and protection." He pointed at Gu Hanhan lying on the ground, "In return, in addition to the spell just now, I can hand over this puppet to you."
"Puppet..." The golden-armored general turned his head and looked a little stiff. "You mean, I can control it and show its power at the stall next door?"
"After you bind to it." Li Shen nodded, "I don't have the force to drive this puppet, so it is in a dormant state now. After you bind to it, use the force Force can drive it again. Even if you can mobilize more and enough Force, it can also show more power."
"Of course, first after it unties me," he said.
Sono narrowed his eyes, examined the dark-eyed man in front of him, and asked: "The God of the Force is above, in the name of God. Have you indeed completely lost all your power?"
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
There were irregular rhythms in the air, and it was obvious that the energy on the surface of the world was being stirred up again. Li Shen turned a blind eye to this and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I have lost all my power. The only thing left is my knowledge of the power of this universe."
Gu Hanhan was very excited. Watching from the side, this scene felt even more funny. She thought, isn’t it? If Mr. Li Shen hadn't lost all his strength, could he have done it? Let me tell you, would it have taken so long? You must know that before today, he was a complete mute. He couldn't speak Chinese, let alone learn your dialect.
Of course, General Sono, who was inside, could not know what Gu Hanhan was thinking, but from another level, he had also confirmed what Li Shen said was true. Thirty years ago, Sono received the "Truth Word" ring when he was first ordained. So far, he has not broken this ring, so through the induction of the Force, he can know whether it is the truth or a lie.
After passing the test of "Truth", Sono obviously relaxed his guard.
"How to unbind??" he asked.
"Give me an empty house with no windows and moonlight to shine in, a piece of incense to burn, a soft cloth, and a basin of water," he said. "You can guard it, but you must Stay outside the door and not be disturbed for at least half an hour."
It was not difficult. Sono immediately agreed and asked, "When can I control this puppet."
"It will be fine after it is lifted." Li Shen replied.
Satisfied, Sono clapped his hands and ordered the affairs officer in black robe to prepare immediately.
The white-robed master stood up angrily and tried to stop him, but was interrupted before he could speak.
"There is nothing to lose by letting him try it," the leader of the golden-armored swordsmen said. "You still have time to present it to the queen after the trial, right, Grand Sorcerer Sol Soruman?"
